Detailed Description

The VBarModelMapper type enables using a data model derived from the QAbstractItemModel class as a data source for a chart. A vertical model mapper is used to create a connection between a data model and QAbstractBarSeries, so that each column in the data model defines a bar set and each row maps to a category in a bar series. You need to implement the data model and expose it to QML.

Both model and bar series properties can be used to manipulate the data. The model mapper keeps the bar series and the data model in sync.

The model mapper ensures that all the bar sets in the bar series have equal sizes. Therefore, adding or removing a value from a bar set causes the same change to be made in all the bar sets in the bar series.

The following QML code snippet creates a bar series with three bar sets (assuming the model has at least four columns). Each bar set contains data starting from row 1. The name of a bar set is defined by the column header.

The bar series that is used by the mapper. All the data in the series is discarded when it is set to the mapper. When the new series is specified, the old series is disconnected (but it preserves its data).
